Default water leaking?

i washed my car on saturday morning, drove it saturday and sunday with a/c on and parked it outside (normaly parked in garage). i put it in the garage sunday night. went out monday and drove it to the store came back home and water was leaking from under the dash on the driver side. it was only water, no coolant. where could this be coming from? could it be condinsation from the a/c?

Still normal. It cools the air by sucking the moisture out of it, so if it's humid it'll get more. If you're talking gallons, then that's another story though. But I wouldn't be surprised to see several cups worth form under the car after a drive.

Horatio102: It's not normal at all to have water pool into the car and soak your pants. It's IN the car, not outside.

I'd check for a missing or damaged grommit, or possibly other weatherstripping. It might be running in off the steering column or the throttle cable or something like that. I would also bet it's not from the AC. Since you washed it, water pooled up under the hood somewhere and overflowed into the car. Was it parked on an incline by chance? Just some thoughts.

i washed the car two days before this happened and i drove it in between then. it is not parked on an incline. there was about a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of water on the floor board. when i had the air on monday it was only on for about two miles until i got home. i am going to drive it right know and see if it happens again.

Oh. IN the car. Buahaha...

I just figured he was crawling around under the car and it got his pants wet.

Yeah.

That's NOT normal. Find the condensor drain line and make sure it's not blocked or improperly set. Also make sure it's not disconnected inside.
